The aim of the project is to increase recycling of waste from Aalborg’s shops and offices, combined with employment of employees with special challenges. Many shops today face challenges in handling and sorting their waste, and they indicate the need for new arrangements. The collection of waste from shops and offices in Aalborg is carried out in collaboration with the social economic company Huset Venture Nordjylland (who) will be responsible for collecting waste, including the mapping of the individual stores’ wishes for new schemes, their waste amounts and types, as well as current management and disposal of waste. With this mapping, the project can develop the most environmentally-efficient collection methods. At the same time, each method of retrieval should be tested. Waste collection using electric vehicles is expected to significantly reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions in the centre of Aalborg. Noise nuisances and particulate pollution from diesel-powered trucks and vans will also be significantly reduced. By electricity-based collection of recyclable packaging, it is estimated that a minimum of 500 litres of diesel will be saved per week.Aalborg Municipality and hvn enter into a collaboration with the Salling and Føtex department stores, and thus have the opportunity to create 2 reloading centres at each end of the pedestrian street system in Aalborg city. To order the collection of recyclable waste from the stores, a digital solution provided by the company Rezycl will be developed, where the stores can report that they would like to collect waste from hvn. The digital solution makes it possible to record waste arisings and waste types for optimisation.
